Mr. Speaker, the fact of the matter is that Canadians do not believe the Prime Minister and, most assuredly, the minister. Canada's spy agency did in fact notify the government two years ago regarding Beijing's threat to a member of this House. Even the Prime Minister's own national security adviser confirmed that her office had received this information in 2021. Enough of the smoke and mirrors. Will the Prime Minister apologize for deliberately misleading this House, be a leader for once, stand up for the security of all Canadians and finally expel that Beijing agent?

I just want to mention and make sure that everyone is clear that if you are misleading someone, you are doing it unintentionally, but “deliberately misleading” is not acceptable language. I am sure it was an error on the member— Some hon. members: Oh, oh! The Speaker: As I was saying before I was rudely interrupted, I want to remind everyone that there is certain language that is not allowed in the chamber, and deliberately misleading is not allowed. The hon. Minister of Public Safety.

Mr. Speaker, rather than expel a diplomat who targeted an MP's family, the Liberal government did nothing for two years. Last week, the Prime Minister peddled a narrative that it was the member for Wellington—Halton Hills who in fact knew and said nothing. Nobody in this chamber is debating that a Beijing official engaged in threats against a sitting member of this House. When will the Prime Minister stop misleading Canadians to cover up for his failures, and expel the Beijing diplomat today?

Mr. Speaker, it is really important to say that no one is misleading the House in this matter. There are steps that need to be taken, always, if we are going to expel a diplomat. It is due process. Conservatives might say that we do not need to follow the rule of law. They do not need to say that, on that side of the House. On this side of the House, we will always do due diligence, follow the evidence, follow the rule of law and make the right decision at the right time. The House can rest assured of that.

Madam Speaker, the member makes my point on misinformation and outright false information. Some members of the House will go outside the chamber to use their social media. They will talk to other individuals, knowing full well that they are, in fact, misleading Canadians. With respect to the 49 members of Parliament I referenced, what did the Prime Minister actually do? When he first heard about it, he made arrangements for the member in question to make sure he had the proper briefing on the issue— Mrs. Cheryl Gallant: Two years later.
